when i attempt to open Firefox Mail, I get a popup (yellow background) with the heading "There is a problem with this message". We are sorry, but Yahoo Mail has encountered a temporary problem, referring to Temporary Error 4. It goes on to suggest that I might solve the problem by going to Yahoo Help Page. I tried this to no avail. Can you help? Please keep it simple as I am sort of computer impaired. Thanks, Bob Mayfield
